My sweet Lucas,
Today marks 5 years since you left.
FIVE. YEARS.
60 months.
261 weeks.
1827 days.
43,848 hours.
2,630,880 minutes.
157,852,800 seconds.
That is WAY too long to be away from you, my baby boy.
Every year leading up to this day is excruciating.
The events of that day 5 years ago replay in my mind over and over again. I see every detail. The paramedics. The police officers. The drive to the hospital. The doctor telling me you were gone. You laying there. Having to come home from the hospital without you. Every detail replays in my mind. And then it gets hard to breathe. And then the tears start.
I try to be strong, i really do! But sometimes its just not possible.
I remember when you were 5 years old! The same amount of time that you've been gone..... you were so adorable!!
Can we go back to these days? Can you just come back please? Even for just one day?
I miss you so much my baby boy!
Everyone tells me it will get easier as time passes. Those people lied! It just gets harder and harder without you here.
We're going to celebrate you today.......not that you died....but that you lived! We're going to have your favourite food tonight for dinner (you know.....the one you were always bugging me for!!)
You've had Nonno up there with you for 25 months......i bet you guys are having a blast together! I hope youre still behaving!
Khloe misses you so much! She still tries to keep all the traditions going and still includes you in everything we do! Everything is still all about her Lukie!! You would be SO proud of the person she is becoming!!
Please keep watching over her!
Thank you for the signs you keep sending.me! Keep them coming! I could really use one today......i could really use one of your hugs today.....
I miss you so much my baby boy
I love you so much Lucas
Love , Mom
P.S. CYM!!!!!

I remember spending time with you Lucas and the whole family in Santina's backyard, eating, laughing, and playing soccer. I remember your smile and your jokes and the pictures you would post on social media just enjoying and living your life. We didn't see eachother often, yet that doesn't mean I don't miss you. You are family, and you will always be loved. Always remember, never forget.

Sweet Lucas my fondest memory of you is running Salena around the house saying “kissy time” you were so full of joy and happiness. I considered you as part of my family and you have left a missing part in everyone you have met. It pains me to see how much your family misses you and I want you to know that I miss you too. Be free and keep an eye on your baby sister.♥️

His Life

Lucas` Eulogy

April 25, 2021

This was the eulogy that was read at Lucas` funeral by his mother, Rose:

On July 2nd, 1999, at 6:07 am, just 2 days after my own 20th birthday, I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy. I named him Lucas. Seeing as I was so young when I had him, we grew up together. He taught me unconditional love, fairness and that everyone deserves a chance. He was the most gentle human being you will ever meet. No matter what we asked of him, he never complained. He may have huffed and puffed a bit but ultimately dropped everything to help us. Last year when my dad got really sick Lucas was always there to help him. He even carried him up the stairs when he couldn’t walk. He gave my mom the courage to make left turns…and if you know my mom you know that this is a big deal! He was always willing to drop everything and do anything for his little sister Khloe, because she meant everything to him and he was her world. The best big brother. As for me….he was my baby boy. My little man. My heart has been shattered and it will never be the same. I still keep hoping he is going to run down the stairs and say “Hey Mom!” like he always did. I still keep hoping that every time my phone goes off that it’s a text from Lucas. Lucas was a brilliant light making everyone’s lives brighter. Even though he was living in darkness and in pain he would always have that beautiful, radiant smile and those sparkling green eyes to look at you and let you know that everything was going to be ok. He was always the voice of reason, always standing up for what was right. If he knew something didn’t add up or if he wanted to say “I told you so” he would just look at you and say “Yeah, eh?” Lucas would make friends everywhere he went. Since he was very little, people just gravitated toward him. And from the amount of people here today, you can all see how special he was to everyone.

He was always giving the best advice. Always encouraging everyone to be better. He was such a smart boy…I think a little too smart. Many say Lucas was an old soul – wise beyond his years. A friend once asked him what he wanted to do with his life. Lucas answered “To impact the world.” I think he succeeded.

I would like to thank everyone who was there for him when he needed someone. I know he reached out to many of you and I know some of you did all you could to help him.

On Monday April 15, 2019 at 6:53 am, I was told there was nothing more doctors could do to bring back my son. I know some of you here today are battling and struggling just like Lucas did. I’m begging you…please get the help you need. The help you deserve. If you don’t know where to go, call me. I will help you the best I can. I tried with everything I have to help Lucas. If anything comes out of his death I hope it’s a wake up call. I can’t help my baby boy anymore, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to help you.

I’m not going to think of this as goodbye. I will never forget my sweet baby boy. I’d like to ask everyone who has a story, memory or photo of Lucas, please bombard me with them. By sharing those, his memory will be kept alive and his spirit will live on forever in our hearts.

To my baby boy…..my heart will forever be broken, but I hope, wherever you are, that you have found the peace and the happiness this world just couldn’t give you. I will miss you forever.

See you later baby boy….

Graduation Day

April 24, 2021

After four years of knowing Lucas in high school, and sharing many laughs and funny stories, especially over our hatred of the chickens working hot foods, on graduation day I forgot my sash, and without even thinking about it, Lucas offered me his. Thankfully there were extras, and my brother hadn’t left the house yet, but Lucas’ selflessness and kindness will never be forgotten. He always had a smile on his face and was the first person to make anyone laugh or smile. Coming home from the youth homeless peaceful protest we shared so many good laughs and stories. We always shared so many laughs and he had the most kind soul who will forever be missed. Lucas, your positive impact in my life is so truly appreciated
